Analysis of Speak

(This is a solid character analysis of speak, it is not to be mistaken by an essay or short story. This is an edited version of a response.)

I'm going to be choosing Melinda today as the main character of my character analysis. So Melinda is basically one of those people you could get along to just fine, until when she called the cops when she was at her late night high school party. She was a pretty popular and good working kid, but after that incident, she has turned into what you could say an "indirect" person, she has no friends now, no life.

She sits alone in every class and she doesn't know why she deserved this type of punishment where none of her friends talk to her. It is a matter of what her choice is if she can survive the rest of high school with this mayhem, but can fix it, or she can't take it anymore and have bad, maybe even suicidal thoughts. I think Melinda is a dynamic person, throughout her life she was a nice, energetic child that I think everyone was proud of. Now she is living high school like it is her worst nightmare, and I mean that literally. You know that she was once a happy and passionate girl with all of her friends at her side. Now she is this depressed girl who everyone in the whole school hates, that isn't bad or anything, actually, it was never supposed to happen in the first place.

This is a problem that you have to deal with by yourself or take your friends help. I'm not saying parents because if you read the book, you see that Melinda's parents are probably having an affair and are planning to get divorced. I thin the parents aren't the best people to handle this situation with her and I think that she can do better than that. So, know it ends like this, she has no friends, she has been in the state of static for the rest of her life? The only person and grade she could probably count on is Art? Which the school board might take out because the teacher, Mr. Freeman is giving to many A's?

This is a very in dept report on Melinda and I hope you know her personality and her life in the high school right now, this is how she really is in the book. A depressed girl who had her life destroyed and abandoned. This is Melinda's character analysis, and you might think that she isn't going to get anywhere in life, but maybe, maybe some miracle could happen to her. Maybe everything could change.....
